DollarPounds [DPS] Red Dwarf tribute currency.

[jonoiv]

I want to update people as to what is happening regrading this coin.  I have been testing the coin an encountering numerous issues.  For that reason....

DPS will be relaunched.  and there will be a redemption program in place.  The method for redemption has not yet been chosen but keep your wallets safe, we will choose the best redemption option for all concerned.  At the moment I am hard working on the new coin...  but It will be based on better code this time as the underlying code base of the original coin was not without faults.

The new coin will be on the scificryptocoin exchange.  and I will aim to have it there for launch, but no promises.   

At the moment I would personally advise against mining this coin until the relaunch, but if you carry on that is your choice.  Current estimate for relaunch is 1 week.

Let's hope the relaunch will go smooth and no one will lose their coins..

Any news regarding DPS relaunch ??

[unfocus]

Any news on the relaunch? Would it make it in time for scifi exchange launch?

Jonoiv, if you need help, you may consider talking to Dream, he solved the QT issue for Darsek.

Cool  Thanks for the words of advice and offer for help....  


I have decided to use Novacoin / Darsek as the source over worldcoin as Dreamwatcher has done most of the hard work already,  testing the source now.... I have the gen block, so next thing is cosmetic stuff and building windows clients ...   But It should be OK and ready in time.    

The relaunch is on target for Saturday,  I will have the code then.... /all going well/...  I will setup 3 solid nodes and my home mining rig! then launch.  

For those,  interested in redemptionI will make this easy as possible but it will be done manually so people will need to be patient,  Unclaimed coins after a period will either be destroyed, given to the foundation, or some given to the foundation and some to the scificryptocoin/hartlandpc wallets.    Not decided yet...!

DPS  will become DPZ  

the ports are different...  
the Address starting letter will be 'R' not 'L' for Lister.... (that's 'R' for Red Dwarf not Rimmer)  But I still have time to change it to D for dollar-pounds.  
PoS will be different /as originally intended/
Changes to PoW block times and values will be changed, but the overall value of coins mined / total coins ratio and PoW reduction should balance overall...  as in... 30 million total coins will remain.


I will send the source to you guys at the exchange so you can build the headless node before the launch  / but please don't mine any until launch time.  Only 1 block will be premined which will contain the current balance of DPS for the redemtion. This block will be checkpointed at launch to avoid any instafork !

I will publish addnode later, and one node will be hard coded and will remain for at least 12 months.

Saturday we should be ready,  but maybe Sunday.   I need to choose a time that is good for US and UK.   The weekend is the only fair time I can think of as most of us have jobs..

If you have a personal preference for the time of day in UTC/GMT for the re-launch please let me know...

[unfocus]

Very happy to hear this

[mogrith]

passed info on to pool host. I hope to have pool ready but not mining until after official launch time.

[bluestang]

Yippy!  Went from 50,000+ DPS down to 241 DPS after the update 

Glad to see me mining to try and move the coin and chain along was worth it 

So what about all the mining and staking I did for a week or so straight up until about the 24th of December?

Also, I even loss the mining I did in October...about 12.5k worth of DPS...WTF!?

Well, after being able to find time to do some fooling around, I deleted everything (again) and redownloaded the blockchain (again) and then ran repairwallet (again) and my initial 12.5k DPS finally came back...yay!

Time to wait for re-launch!!

More waiting

Sorry guys

I am working hard, I promise   like you all said best to get it right than rush it...  

The relaunch will be delayed as you may have guessed already.  I won't go into the technical stuff...  but I had made an error with the genesis block mining and asked for some help from dreamwatcher and now I'm back on track.  the code I needed was available on various coin sources on git, but I really didn't want to go copy n pasting, until I fully understood the code.  Dreamwatcher confirmed for me the code needed, I am so glad he was able to help

The delay, will push back the other work (windows client)....   I won't launch it without a windows client and as I have never cross compiled this coin, I  can't say the launch will be today. But I have 2 days holidays off work, so I can concentrate on this until it's ready....  I will be ready soon, but I underestimated the time needed.  

Just looking for a special nonce now  A nonce in England is something completely different. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonce_%28slang%29

Take all the time that is needed, better to have a relaunch with no issues than to rush and risk a mess.
Thanks for your work.

Agree take your time until you can hash that nonce just right.

This coin is from a solid Novacoin base, not the broken Foocoin > Fehcoin base that many clones are based on.  There are no known bugs at present.
